When booking for a special
event, you may find that the price for a well-known presenter of standards is out of reach.
It seems the client is expected to pay quite a bit extra for the artist's fame. But when
one inquires about a more affordable performer, agents tend to "switch" the
client to another genre of music, like country or 60's & 70's rock & roll.
That's because the "not famous" mainstream jazz singer who can deliver a
spectacular performance is hard to find. Well, no more. Just check out the videos and music
samples on this website, and there'll be no doubt that your event can have that atmosphere
of class and romance that only the Great American Songbook can create, because Kenny Ray
delivers, and he isn't famous ... yet!
Kenny understands that
"dead time" between songs is boring. So his musical numbers are tied together
with spoken continuity, carefully scripted to tailor each performance to your audience in
the most entertaining way possible. It requires strong rapport from a singer to create a
real "show" rather than some simple "background" music. Kenny
captivates and holds attention, enabling him to deliver your message in a personable and
spontaneous way that heightens believability.
You can afford Kenny Ray's
talent at various prices, depending on accompaniment by pianist, rhythm section, jazz band,
big band or full orchestra. To get a detailed quote for your event, contact Kenny via email

Performing artist Michael
Feinstein writes "Kenny Ray's interpretations of standards, old and new, are models of
insight, connection with lyrics and musicality." Certainly, Michael is a guy who knows
the score, but don't just take his word for it. Watch the videos and listen to the
music samples, and ... enjoy!
